Idk what you’ve been watching, but Mare of Easttown, Cruel Summer, Kevin Can F Himself, and Girls 5Eva all premiered this year and were/are great. And that’s not even counting the ones that aired their 2nd+ season this year, like Mythic Quest, Shrill, and Ted Lasso, plus those other shows that people seemed to love…

For anyone whining about how this show is overhyped, could you please point me to any other debut show that came out this year that’s even close to being as good? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, I get it. But for what it’s attempting, it does it very solidly. This year has been absolutely terrible for tv,…

I think the best part of tonight’s episode was the brother. Completely without any agency at that age, trying to tune out the world through his ear pods or smartphone. When he finally has his fill of his sister and her friend, he tears off to the beach and sees the whale.

As someone with a barely above average freelance writing career myself, any client that would drop you for not taking an assignment on your honeymoon is a shit client you don’t want to begin with. God help me, but I agree with Shane on that much.

My concern after Enlightened was the Tina-Fey-Cartoonish-But-For-Cringe way Mike White puts in elements that are so heightened they just wouldn’t happen, which are not in tone with the even the heightened realism in the rest of his scripts. Here Shane is the main malefactor. IT’S TOO MUCH. If she would have exacted a…

I am patient, first because of Zahn and Britton but also because it isn’t heavy handed at all, rather, a slow roll. So stop watching—easy fix! Meanwhile, only the second episode in, I don’t mind spending a little more time with this bunch. I hung in there with the HBO Murdur Durdur show and was glad I did.  

Did you watch “The Last Dance?” I don’t see how anyone could come away from that thinking MJ would willingly be a cameo in LeBron’s movie.

This entire film had the critical thinking of an executive brainstorming session. It was profoundly cynical, artless, and – worst of all – boring. It didn’t have a clue who its audience was (why the fuck are the Droogs in my kids’ Looney Tunes movie?), and it just didn’t care. The most emotional moment was when Danny…

Whoops, looks like you forgot the “sponsored content” tag. 

No offence intended to Michael Jordan, but I can think of one more surprising cameo:

AVClub: This movie is pretty terrible.

Lol you never like anything, so. 

What do we want?
Independence between marketing and content!

i get it, but at least they aren’t changing their rating to FIT the marketing money. i mean, that’s what we want, right?

AVC does this constantly. They’ll take any marketing money they can get and then shit on a film. At one point the site was plastered with materials about Queen & Slim, only for it to get a C+.

Lol the dissonance of multiple space jam puff pieces... And the c- review. 🤣🤣🤣

Was this entire interview written by a marketing department? Q’s and A’s feel like they were spat out by a PR bot

It is sad, I’ve lost so much interest in Doctor Who over the past few years that I forgot they were still making new episodes until your comment. :(

Ugh why? I knew he was planning on staying past Whittaker and didn’t quite think through how long that would be. He’s just not good as a showrunner for DW. Apparently he can’t make them in a reasonable amount of time and the results are just meh.

The direction was fine but I don’t think it will be hard to replace her.
